Dismantling my colour-coordinated bookshelf and collection of letterpress blocks & vintage whisky bottles from my mantlepiece. Moving sucks.
Instagram Filters as Photoshop Actions →
Now we can ALL be Instagramers. Note: read THIS POST I wrote several days ago first.
via dbox: I recently did a google search to see if anyone had “converted” instagram filters to photoshop actions. After not finding any results, I decided to see if I could do it myself. I didn’t get a 100% exact match, but it’s pretty close.
Im starting with “Nashville” then will add more soon. Let me know...

Authors insulting authors, most splendiferously →

The Chop Shop
This has long been a favourite of mine.
(from mattwrightsonblog: Good meat and good design, two things that just work together so well. Ptrmak hit the mark with their The Chop Shop & Honest Don’s branding. There is something so pure and manly about this. Maybe it’s the brown tones and rusted orange or perhaps it’s just the sight of a butcher knife. Regardless well thought out and...

Summer of '74
My old hood. Inherently cool.
(via blaaahg: Photographer Danny Lyon spent two months snapping pictures of the daily life in the borough back in 1974 — exploring Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Fort Green and Park Slope among other neighborhoods.

No really, your cat does not need to be lomofied.

Waking up to the chorus of War’s ‘Low Rider’ as my alarm is the best way to get out of bed on the right side. Smooooooth and funky.
